Wooden Sofa Set in Carved Teak - Ivory Corner with Curved Chaise

The scale of buttoning is one of the least discussed decisions in upholstery and one of the most visible. The distance between buttons determines how deep the folds are, how much shadow the surface holds, and - oddly - how large the whole piece looks. Small diamonds make a sofa read as bigger and busier, because the eye counts more units across the same width. Large diamonds make it read as calmer and, counter-intuitively, smaller.

Upholsterers used to work to whatever grid the horsehair needed to stay put, so the choice made itself. Now that fillings do not migrate, the grid is purely a design decision, and it should be made against the size of the room rather than copied from a catalogue photograph.

Our master Indian artisans set the grid out full size on the finished frame before any button goes in, so it can be judged against the actual length of your sofa rather than a drawing. On a long piece that is the only way to know whether the diamonds are the right size.

Material: Solid teak frame throughout, including back, arm, chaise, apron and legs.

Back: Buttoned in large diamonds, shaped top rail rising into carved crests above the main run and over the chaise; buttoning scale specified by you.

Arm: Deep carved outward-scrolling volute at the closed end.

Chaise: Curved high back at the open end, high enough to lean against sideways.

Apron: Pierced carved apron in scrolling foliage running the entire length beneath the seat.

Seat: Individual generous cushions in plain upholstery against the buttoned back.

Upholstery: Shown in ivory; any fabric and colour.

Finish: Champagne as shown, and available in ivory, gold, silver, walnut or natural teak tones.

Configuration: Chaise built on the left or right hand as your room requires.

Sizes: Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

The sofa travels in sections with joints engineered for assembly in your room, each packed separately and labelled in assembly order.

The pierced apron is the most fragile component. Shaped foam is pressed into the openwork from both faces so every scroll is supported, and the apron is boxed rigidly rather than left attached during transit where possible.

Upholstered surfaces are bagged in breathable covers and firm packing bears only on the carved frame, never on the buttoned back or the seat cushions.

The carved crests are given shaped foam shells, the deep arm volute is collared along its curve, and the curved chaise back is supported along its whole profile.

Champagne surfaces are covered first in a soft non-abrasive layer. Fittings travel in a labelled pouch. Everything is crated together with handling instructions. Every photograph here shows the actual sofa before packing - not a render.

Delivery is free anywhere in India and included in the price you are quoted, with no freight, packing or handling charge added later.

Production begins once your dimensions, buttoning scale, fabric, finish and chaise hand are confirmed in writing. We give you a realistic timeline then and send photographs of your own sofa as the frame is carved, the apron pierced and the buttoning set out.

On arrival the sections are carried in and assembled in your room, the frame levelled, the apron fitted and the cushions placed. Tell us your lift dimensions, staircase turns and doorway widths when you order and we size the sections to your access. We guarantee dent-free arrival, and if anything is not right, tell us and we will make it right.

The solid teak frame and joinery are covered for 20 years - the back frame, the arm, the chaise, the pierced apron, the legs and every joint between them. A pierced apron running the full length is thin relative to its span, so it is engineered as a structural member rather than as applied decoration, and the warranty stands behind it.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with it for as long as you own the sofa, backed by teak's own resistance and confirmed in writing.

Re-covering later follows the original buttoning plot, which we keep on file with the frame dimensions and the chaise hand - so the diamond scale you chose is reproduced rather than reinterpreted. Cushions can be refilled at the same time and the finish re-laid. Our own master Indian artisans do the work and explain what it involves before starting.
